Mk2 escort: 1620 xflow on twin dellorto dhla 40's - poorly engine :(

Hey, quick video of my escort. Poor engine is not running right yet, need to get the carbs jetted properly. The throttle gets stuck open toward the end of the vid, hence the crazy camera work! haha
Excuse the messy interrior/carpet...its a work in progress...
Hope you like the car and engine sound....enjoy.

what is the jetting of your carb? I ahve the same configuration on my escort ;-)

good question...every time i have them out for a clean i never think to write the numbers down...sorry, cant remeber off the top of my head. Will let you know though when i next take them out.

mine is 62 idle, 150 main and 190 air corrector ;-)

but I have a 'hole' in the acceleration when I kick down at slow rpm...

i must admit, when i floor it at low revs it does take a while to pick up....could be a few things....The Cam or the jetting. I do think Carbs struggle with low rev response...As long as it pulls hard from about 2.5k to red line, i would be ok with that.

this is a mean escort man. keep it up, love it!

Thanks pal, its all sorted now too...will put another vid up soon of it drifting.

P.s your underground vid is cool. Dubstep and drifiting...does it get any better?

I'm amazed that people are still hopping up the Kent engine today. I thought the Zetec, Rover K Series, Ford Modular Motor, Cadillac Northstar, Nissan and Lexus mills supplanted them. I've wondered if you can fit a Holley 4 Barrel carb on a Kent mill.

[norabudgie]

ive got twin DHLA 40's on my 2ltr pinto in my mk2, and its the same, its smooth, but doesnt really get up and go unless to coast it, then stomp it at 2-3K rpm.
